DPD lost my parcel; how can I get a quick refund or compensation?

If DPD has lost your parcel, the fastest path to a refund or compensation is to initiate a claim through the sender/contract-holder (not as the recipient). For example, DPD Ireland says claims can only be made by the contract holder for loss of a parcel.

Start by: (1) gathering your parcel number, shipping date, proof of value (invoice or order confirmation), and your account details for payment. (2) Notify DPD or the sender within the deadline (often within 7 calendar days after the expected delivery date).

Once all documentation is submitted, DPD typically resolves claims within about 30 calendar days.

Be aware that if you weren’t the sender, you’ll need the sender to act, and ordinary delivery contracts may limit liability unless additional insurance was purchased.
